POLICIES:
NO SMOKING. NO PETS.

Guest Requirements:
Registered guests must be at least 25 years of age, provide a copy of a valid ID, and be present throughout the entire stay.

Occupancy Limits:
The standard occupancy is two persons per standard bedroom. For additional occupants beyond this limit, a fee of $25 per person, per night, will be charged, up to the maximum allowable occupancy, if applicable.

Quiet Hours:
Quiet hours are from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. As this property is located in a residential area, we ask that you respect our neighbors by maintaining a reasonable noise level both during the day and at night. Excessive or unreasonable noise may disrupt the peaceful enjoyment of the neighborhood and is not permitted.

Reservation Policies:
Reservations are typically for 7-night stays, Saturday to Saturday. However, we offer flexible stays with varying minimum night requirements and non-Saturday check-ins and check-outs during most of the year, except for holidays and peak weeks. Please inquire before booking to confirm availability, as changes cannot always be accommodated after booking.

Cleaning and Safety:
All homes, including linens and towels, are cleaned, sanitized, and inspected between guest stays according to industry standards. A starter set of basic amenities, linens, towels, and bedding is provided upon check-in, based on home occupancy. Daily housekeeping and linen services are not included but are available upon request for an additional fee. For stays of 28 days or longer, a mid-stay clean is required and must be scheduled and paid for by the guest.

This home participates in our Professional Linen Program, ensuring high-quality linens and towels are professionally laundered at a commercial facility between each guest's stay. Please note that extra sets are not stored in the home.

Golf Cart Rentals:
Explore the island with ease! After booking, reserve a golf cart through our sister company, Once Upon A Beach Carts, and enjoy an exclusive discount available only to our vacation rental guests.

Baby Equipment Rentals:
Baby equipment is not provided at the home for safety and sanitation purposes. However, we partner with local companies that offer rental services for baby items, including convenient pick-up and drop-off options. Details will be provided at the time of booking, or you may inquire directly for more information.

Pool and Spa (if any):
The pool is heated year-round at no extra charge for guest convenience, with temperatures maintained between 82-85°F to ensure proper chemical balance and cleanliness. Pool heaters and filters do not operate during quiet hours (10:00 PM to 8:00 AM) per local noise ordinances. Please note that cooler ambient temperatures, especially with a 20°F or greater difference between air and water temperatures, may impact the pool heater's effectiveness.

The spa, when available, is a section of the pool that can provide relaxation, bubbles, and water temperatures in the high 90s to low 100s. However, it is not designed to function as a commercial hot tub and is not permitted to operate 24/7. Spas may be unavailable during summer months (June–September) to prevent overheating of the pool water, which could compromise chemical balances. Guests are prohibited from adjusting pool equipment; failure to comply may result in fines or liability for damages.

Guests are required to read and follow all posted rules, safety information, and operating instructions.

Property Security and Safety:
This home may be equipped with exterior cameras, such as Ring or Nest, positioned to monitor the front door, driveways, pool equipment, and entry/exit areas of the backyard. These cameras are installed solely to enhance property security, monitor deliveries, and ensure occupancy limits are met. Cameras are not angled toward areas where privacy is expected or assumed.

PAYMENTS:
- 50% of total amount due must be made at time of reservation request to confirm reservation.
- 50% of total amount due must be paid on or before 60 days prior to check-in date.
- Full amount due must be made at time of booking if check in date is within next 60 days.

Awesome Multi-generational Family Vacation Home

The listing on VRBO was extremely thorough and accurate. The property was perfect for 11 adults and two toddlers (ages 4-92). The pool area was ideal for family dinners (grills, refrigerators, bars, tables and TVs). The roof top deck with Adirondack chairs was perfect for watching the sunrises and sunsets. The location was awesome - close to the beach, Bridge Street shops, restaurants and bars. The host was very responsive to our questions and inquiries prior to arrival and during our stay. We had the best time!

Great experience and perfect for our family!

We had an amazing time on Anna Maria Island staying at Family Tides! The property is in a perfect location, right next to Bridge Street, a 3 minute walk to the beach and even a short walk to parasailing. This is both convenient and saves on expensive parking. The kitchen's are well supplied which made it very easy for meal planning with a large family. All appliances were modern and in good shape. The pool was clean and perfect for swimming day or night and a great for switch-up from enjoying the ocean. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay on Anna Maria Island!

Beautiful Home!

The home is lovely and perfect for a family or large group. We were a group of nine girls and each of us had plenty of space between the two units. My favorite part is that it was across the street from the beach access and one street over from a convenience store, shops, restaurants, bars and even a putt putt golf course. We walked everywhere on the island and the only time we used our cars was to go to Publix. The rooftop deck provides an awesome view of the sunrise and sunset or you can watch the sunset on the beach and the sunrise on the pier at the end of the street. The pool and the outdoor space was awesome and the host has tons of beach equipment for you to use (chairs, wagons, umbrellas and sand toys). Everyone in our group loved the house and if we ever go back, we would book this home again.

Loved this house! It's exactly as described... great location within walking distance to shops, food, night life, the beach (although the ocean water was cold in March). Perfect for two families!

Great Location

Such a beautiful vacation rental! The spacious layout makes it easy for groups to stay and feel like you have your own space but cozy enough to feel like home for the week with all of the essentials. Even if the easy 5 minute walk to the beach isn't your thing, you always have the 3 min walk to Bridge Street with all the shops and restaurants. The backyard with pool was perfect for a relaxing dip after a hot day at the beach. The island itself is beautiful and offers so much as well with plenty of places walking distance and an easy free trolley ride to explore more. We had an amazing time enjoying the house and island with family and friends and cannot wait to come back!
